We're going to put this bluntly, 2016 has been a bit bloody shit, hasn't it?
We lost too many great stars, saw a load of beautiful celeb relationships break down, had to deal with the whole Brexit debacle and the US presidential election, and we waved goodbye to The Great British Bake Off.
Thanks, 2016, thanks a lot.
But it's at times like these we have to look at the funny side of things, and if there is one saving grace (as well as all the gr8 telly, obvs) for this annus horribilus 2.0 it's that there have some been some HILARIOUS memes thrown about to lighten the mood.
Sit back and think of happier times as we take you through a few of the best.
1. Me at the start of 2016 vs me at the end of 2016
Kicking off with a comparison between how we felt at the star of the year and how we feel now. We were young, naïve and care free. That certainly changed pretty quickly.
2. Hodor/Hold Door
A defining moment of our 2016 was without doubt that EPIC Hodor scene in Game Of Thrones, which completely shattered our hearts into a million pieces. We've not been able to hold doors open for anyone since. The lift at work has been slightly awkward.
3. Confused Mr Krabs
If one picture could describe our state of mind during most of this year it would deffo be this amazing interpretation of a very confused Mr Krabs. And to be fair this December has pretty much been a blur of Christmas hats, cocktails and colours so we're 100% feeling this meme RN.
4. Evil Kermit
We're 100% blaming this meme for all of our terrible decisions in 2016. Evil Kermit made us do it, soz.
5. Michael Jordan crying face
Raw emotion. We've all been there at some point this year.
6. We don't talk about 2016
Yep. It's probably best not to mention a LARGE part of this year ever again.
7. Sad Ben Affleck
Not technically a meme but we can really, really relate to our good mate Ben Affleck here. We feel your pain, hun :(.
8. Bella Hadid and The Weeknd
To be fair, if we think our year was bad, at least we're not The Weeknd having to watch our model ex-girlfriend look sooo fierce and completely slay the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show right before our eyes.
9. Home Alone
This couldn’t actually be more US! (Sidenote: this Home Alone fan theory will actually ruin your Christmas, but could 2016 get any worse anyway?)
10. Rough patch
Good news: 2017 is going to be our year, we've decided 2016 was just a rough patch.
11. 2016 S
COULD YOU ACTAULLY IMAGINE?
So thnx for da memories 2016, you've been an experience… Let's hope everyone's 2017 is about 5972395720 times better.
(and if you thought 2016 was actually kinda 'ite – you'll want to read this)
HAPPY NEW YEAR PEEPS.
